if there is one thing i know about volunteers, it is that you must give them the best equipment and system for them to do whatever... i am very proud of our tidy and effective "poo picking system"----- 3 x 6" pieces of cereal boxes which are so easily carried in a volunteer's back pocket..( our outdoor version is a few 3 x 6 cards attached to a grocery bag with a tiny hair elastic....) ----The back of Janine's book, she wrote "if you come to crazy acres, leave your ego at the gate" and we mean that.... everybody does everything for which they are physically capable. when it comes to a healthy pile of poo....we are not interested you your degrees or past accomplishments.
if there is poo, it needs immediate attention. if you don't already have a "poo picking system" there are mailboxes scattered about which have supplies-- pick it put it in the bag and tie the top-- drop it anywhere a passing golf cart can reach it to carry t to the dumpster- in the meantime it is tied-- no small, no flies, no accidental "soft step"

i was so pleased yesterday-
#1 beautiful day to enjoy a bunch of dogs-- several graduate service dogs were here too.
#2. mark's santa friend is a super santa- who apparently just met a similarly jolly woman who said she wished she could play santa's role once a year... so she got all dolled up in red... and played teh role of mrs. santa perfectly.. mark- and sandy-- got some great photos which should appear on shutterfly sometime...
#3. the shatupon report----was the quickest performnce ever... the second chicken never got out of the crate before the first had "chosen" teh winner-- thanks to the hundreds of people who bought bricks, we can pay the bills for another month
#4. SOMEBODY brought a dish of hand whipped cream-- with a pumpkin pie !!
(#5... just to follow up on the first topic of poo picking... there were 80 to 100 people here, about 65 dogs who must have 2 bm's a day--?130 possible piles....... and not one person had a soft step/shoe wiping ordeal..)

re calendar orders.....i sent this to beverly who got shorted....
i see what is happening.... we have a bug....... this has happened to several people
you ordered 4 and the computer decided you ordered one unit of 4 so in the quantity column it put 1
and printed one on our mailing list...--- if you had changed the quantity to 4... the comupter would have tried to send you 4 x units of 4 or 16...
now i can fix it thank you ... let me rephrase... janine can fix it for us... defining the problem is 87% of the cure.
and she si due here for book signing this morning.... i think....
